I believe the softer look of flashbulbs has more to do with the
shape of the reflector. If you use it without a reflector, bulb and
electronic flash look pretty much the same.

There is one other issue that used to be discussed a lot but which
probably pays a part in the effects you get with strobe lights and
flash bulbs.
Strobes tend to produce light with spectral peaks while flash bulbs
produce light that is more even across the spectrum. Combine this
with the sensitivity peaks in color film (probably not B&W film
though) and there will be differences in the end result.
Sorry I don't remember any of the specifics any more but I would
guess that some members of this forum will have that info in their
memory banks,
